The commander of the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit was removed from his position on Wednesday, less than a week after the force’s subordinate units were first brought together to deploy in 2014, Marine officials said.

Col. James Christmas was relieved of command by Maj. Gen. Raymond Fox, the commander of II Marine Expeditionary Force, out of Camp Lejeune, N.C., after the general lost confidence in Christmas’ ability to continue commanding the Marines and sailors of the 22nd MEU,” said Capt. Binford Strickland, a Marine spokesman. No additional explanation was given for the decision.

We have been smug too long. Our military is no longer “just like us”. As more and more leaders are culled, it will change to something we won’t recognize. And it will be something to be feared.

How do we stop it? First, vote with your head in the mid-term elections. Second, in the next presidential election, vote against the commie/socialist/thug party. Vote like our future depends on it. Because it does.
